In a little over two weeks, on September 12, the next edition of the NHL game will be available to video game fans. Today, EA Sports unveiled the ratings for the Montreal Canadiens’ top 10 players. And there are some surprises. First of all, let’s start by saying that Nick Suzuki has a rating of 90. Which, in reality, is excellent.

He’s not among the NHL’s top 10 center players in the game… but still:

Next, it’s interesting to note that three Habs players have an 88 rating: Cole Caufield, Lane Hutson and Noah Dobson.

Mike Matheson and Kaiden Guhle have a rating of 86… and at 85, we find Patrik Laine (?), Samuel Montembeault, Juraj Slafkovsky and Ivan Demidov. Demidov has a high rating for a guy who has only played two regular-season games in the National League.

As for Laine, he has a rather low rating for a guy who scored at a rate of 31.5 goals last season…Let’s remember one thing, though: it all depends on a guy’s performance, and ratings can change over the course of the season. For example, if a player is struggling and not producing, his rating will drop. And the opposite is also true: if a player is having a good time, his rating will go up. Nevertheless, it will be fun for fans to play with the Canadiens team in the next NHL game. The Montreal team has some good players, there are a lot of skilled guys on the roster… and maybe that will help some of them win more games (hehe).No joke, it’s cool to see EA Sports recognize the fact that in Montreal, there’s talent in the club.

That hasn’t necessarily been the case in recent years, after all… [spacer title=’Overtime’] – A new player for the Montreal Roses
